About Jackie
LMFT in California with 25 years of clinical experience, Jackie M O'Malley Gomez helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She works with adolescents and adults and also supports concerns related to ADHD, addictions, relationships, parenting, anger, and self-esteem. Jackie uses practical therapy methods aimed at making daily life more manageable.
Jackie focuses on clear strategies that people can use between sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns and on Mindfulness practices to build attention and reduce reactivity. Somatic methods are used when bodily responses to stress are part of the problem, and trauma-focused techniques are applied to address effects of past abuse or traumatic events.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Jackie treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life, and she works together with them to identify strengths and next steps. Conversations include skill-building, behavior changes, and attention to how the body holds stress.
Her background includes clinical work with people facing post-traumatic stress, concentration and focus difficulties, postpartum depression, and first responder or veteran-related issues. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, family of origin problems, and isolation or loneliness.
Jackie aims to make beginning therapy easier by guiding clients through an initial plan and practical first steps. She offers a steady, methodical approach that emphasizes skills people can use in everyday situations. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Jackie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, panic, and attention difficulties.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without reacting automatically. Mindfulness can support regulation of anxiety, stress, and mood challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jackie will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences. This is a collaborative discussion rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on a break, or remove the need to travel to an office. Therapists can adapt exercises, homework, and somatic practices so they are useful between sessions and in everyday settings.
